So endeth the roster of 1951, and thus begineth a new day. What the tangled world holds in store for us we cannot know, but this we most earnestly hope: May BOLLES become an even better school because of our having been in residence; may our Class have made an impression for good; may our names be remembered as having contributed to the `best interests of the School.
BOLLES is our School; we are proud of it, and we trust that BOLLES can also be proud of us— the Class of 1951.”
1952... that made history at Bolles “The Class of '52, Bolles twentieth group of graduates, had its start back in September, 1945, when Dickie Hardin, Henry McClellan, Bruce Norman, Neil Presser, and J. B. Waters first set foot on the campus. A little later in the year Bill Richardson brought their number up to six. With the following year nine more joined the Class of '52 and it began to take on something of its present form. Included in these new arrivals were Jack Cowart, Stu Gregory, Wiley Jarrell, Charlie Kern, Squeek Marvin, Pete McCranie, Bobby Paul, Bill Slye, and Jug Wilson. John Dykers, Kayo Foshee, Robert Gryder, H. 0. Myerston, R. D. Saunders, and Smokey Stover further fleshed out the class when they joined up in September of 1947. Most of the early founders of '52 had left “E" Company and joined the Military or Naval units when 1948 saw Jose Abarca, Craig Ellison, Ronald Fowler, and Gene Stapler enroll as Freshmen. By the time 1949 rolled around the Class had begun to go places in athletics, academics, and journalism and was already pegged as potentially one of the best Bolles has ever turned out. These convictions were strengthened when Bob Davidson, Mike Kenney, Ray King, Oscar Lange, Larry Moshell, Jerry Spragens, and Jim Tyson came in. - Last year, 1950, brought thirteen more additions in the persons of Harry Bennett, Bob Brady, Frankie Brown, Bill Brown, David Dobson, Bob Ernest, Dud Johnston, Roy Lang, Scotty Manley, Frank Martin, Bill Montgomery, Bill Roll, and Madison Weeks. September, 1952, had the Class up to its graduating strength of sixty with the entrance of Len Bellingrath, Sam Bishop, Powell Brewton, Jose Campos, Val Cathey, Jack Denny, John Dyal, Gecrge
